Summary
Taniguchi is known for his comically lecherous behavior, having assigned attractiveness scores to each first-year girl based on his personal preferences. He recalls the full names of all those he ranked an 'A', noting that Nagato received an A-. His admiration for Mikuru is particularly intense, often putting him and Kunikida into a trance-like state of adoration, especially when she wears her soba-serving outfit. Having known Haruhi since junior high, Taniguchi served as Kyon’s primary source of information about her prior to their direct interaction. It is suggested that he may have dated Haruhi for the shortest duration of any of her partners.
